How Mutual Masturbation can Help Create Intimacy

Intimacy may come easy for some couples, but we all know that becoming genuinely intimate with someone is not always a cakewalk. Whether you’ve found someone via “love at first sight” method or on a cougar datingsite, it can be quite challenging to reach full intimacy with them.

However, there are a couple of things you can do to increase that trust between yourself and your partner, among which is mutual masturbation. Here are a few reasons why this act is much more productive when done together with your partner.

Breaking the Boundaries

If there were just one unwritten rule about masturbation (and you can bet there are many), it would be that this activity is exclusively reserved for you and you alone. People have been doing it since the dawn of time, but we’ve always tended to do it when nobody else was watching.

But what if we told you that it would be much healthier and hotter if both you and your partner were masturbating at the same time, right next to each other. Sure, “helping yourself” has always been something that you do when your partner isn’t there, is too tired or is just not feeling like having sex, however, something useful lies in sharing this activity with your significant other.

Before endeavoring into such an act, make sure that sit down with your partner and discuss it. If you’re both up for it, establish where, how and under which conditions will you two perform this. It’s of utmost importance that you set these “rules” so that both of you can enjoy it as much as possible, only because the goal here is to build intimacy and bring you and your partner closer together.

Sharing is Caring

Now we’re getting to why and how exactly does mutual masturbation help build intimacy between two people. Just thinking about exposing the most secret part of our sexuality makes us feel uncomfortable at first, but it gets much better once it begins and it results in more than one fantastic thing.

That very moment when you expose yourself to someone else is what will ultimately bring you closer to them simply because it shows that you trust them so much that you’ll allow them to see every part of you, even the one when you’re most vulnerable. And that exact moment is where intimacy starts to blossom.

Then, once it picks up momentum, it just gets better and better. You’ll turn each other on and it will more than likely end being one of the best and hottest sexual experiences that both of you ever had. This furthermore increases the intimacy as it provides you two as a couple with a shared experience you will remember for the rest of your days.

So, to quickly recap, masturbation isn’t something you should always do alone. Performing such an act along with your partner will bring you closer to them and even if it feels weird at first or while talking about it, just remember – it’s all for a good cause.
